No exit = Huis clos -- The flies = Les mouches -- Dirty hands = Les mains sales -- The respectful prostitute = La putain respectueuse
No exit = Huis clos -- The flies = Les mouches -- Dirty hands = Les mains sales -- The respectful prostitute = La putain respectueuse..
In these four plays, Jean-Paul Sartre, the great existentialist novelist and philosopher, displays his mastery of the drama. No Exit is an unforgettable portrayal of hell. The Flies is a modern reworking of the Electra-Orestes story. Dirty Hands is about a young intellectual torn between theory and praxis. The Respectful Prostitute is a scathing attack on American racism. 4 plays about an existential portrayal of Hell, the reworking of the Electra-Orestes story, the conflict of a young intellectual torn between theory and conflict and an arresting attack on American racism
